hyperlink to object

[Guest]

I am trying to creat a hyperlink in power point to jump to an object on the
same slide. For example, if the user clicks the "yes" hyperlink, it will jump
to object #1 on the same slide but if the user clicks the "no" hyperlink, it
will jumpt to object #2 on the same slide. Any help would be appreciated.

What's "it" in this case? What jumps from object to object?

In other words, what happens when you click the Yes hyperlink?

Do you want the color of another object to change or for it to appear or ...?

Also, what version of PPT are you using?

What I want to happen is when I click on "Yes" (this is just an autoshape), I
want the next step to appear. When I click on "No" (this is also just an
autoshape), I want the next step to appear. Depending on whether they click
on the "Yes" or "No" will determine what the next step is. The 'next steps'
are simply text boxes with instructions.
I'm working in Power Point 2003.
Thanks!

Got it!

If you know it'll be played back in 2002/3 or the 2003 viewer there are probably
trigger animation tricks that'll do this nicely, but for broader use, you can create
two duplicate slides of your original; one with each of the options.

The Yes shape is a link to the slide with the stuff you want them to see when
clicking Yes, the No shape is a lin, to ... you get the idea, right? ;-)

Each of these linked-to slides has a Next Slide button that takes them to the next
slide in the presentation sequence.

Slide 1: Click Yes or No
Yes links to slide 2
No links to slide 3

Slide 2 and Slide 3 both have Next buttons that link to Slide 4

Slide 4 ... show continues here

Ahh, yes, I was trying to avoid creating duplicate slides since there are
multiple "Yes" "No" hyperlinks in the same doc, thus creating over 50 slides.
It is a possibility though if I have to do it that way.
I am not familiar with "trigger animation tricks" as you put it. Could you
explain more on that? The users will all be playing it back in PPT 2003.
Thank you for your help!

Simple example (about all I'm capable of! <g>)))

Draw four rectangles

1 - has YES as text
2 - has "You clicked YES" as text

Rightclick 2 and choose Custom Animation

Give it an entrance effect, then click the downarrow next to its name in the list of
animated shapes below. Click Timing.

Click Triggers.

Click Start Effect on click of: and pick the YES rectangle.


Now when you play the slide, the "You clicked YES" rectangle won't appear until you ...
you guessed it ... click Yes.
